Crescendo

The Crescendo Concert Access Initiative is the Boston Philharmonic and Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s commitment to making classical music truly accessible. Each season, we offer thousands of complimentary tickets to our Symphony Hall concerts—welcoming individuals and families from across Greater Boston, including students, seniors, veterans, individuals with disabilities, families experiencing financial hardships, and members of historically marginalized communities.

Through partnerships with schools, social service agencies, medical centers, and community organizations, we ensure that everyone, regardless of background or financial circumstances, can experience the power of live orchestral music.

All concerts are also live streamed for free on YouTube, making the experience accessible to those unable to attend in person.

Since 2012, BPO and BPYO musicians have directly impacted Boston city school music programs, youth development services,  and community organizations through a wide variety of education and arts engagement programs.
